HE coat-of-arms cut is the donation of Mrs. Frank
C. Smith of Worcester.

The printing of the pamphlet is the donation of
Charles M. Cox of Melrose.

The work of research and compilation was done
by Edward Jones Cox of 64 Brooks Ave., Newtonville,
.(although the names and dates in the 6th, 7th and 8th
generations were obtained from the family record, so
long faithfully kept by Mrs. Olive A. Perry). He de-
sires to receive additions and corrections., and will send
to all who request it, a directory of addresses of all
living cousins, hoping that pleasant correspondence
and local reunions will result. Hearty thanks are extended
to all who assisted in furnishing information.

Extra copies on request. The original intention
was to furnish copies free, but so many have said they
would feel more comfortable to pay something for it,
that any amount you prefer to send will not be refused.

Some of the Colbiirns derive the name from "cold", and "burn", mean-
ing "cold brook." Others even from "coal" and "burn". It is found in
many spellini^s, and is sometimes shortened into "Coburn". But the late
Rov. George fl. Gordon of SomcrvilJe, an expert gi'nealogirt whose large
amount of material for an (unpiiblisiied) genealogy of the Colburn
Family is in the possession of the New England Historic-Genealogical So-
ciety ol Boston, told the writer that the name was of Vikii\g oi-igin, the
syllable "Col" meaning in tlie Norse mythology one of tlie miiijlr gods, and
"burn" meaning "a soldier," hence "Colburn" means a soldier of the god
"Col". Tliis same syllable is in Cologne, a city founded by the Norsejiien,
and Columbus, whose family, though resident in Italy, were; of Norse
descent, and, according to him, all refer tfx this minor god. He said he
got tills from books in Latin which are in the library of Harvard College.

The n^.ost noted in England of this name is John Colburne, who was
born in 1770. He served Avith distinction under Wellington in the Peninsular
Campaign in Spain, as Colonel of the 52nd (Oxfordshire) regiment, in the
battles of Corunna, Albuera, Cuidad Rodrigo, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes. and
Toulouse. At Waterloo, his swinging Ills regiment as the French Old Guard
m,ade their charge, in such a way as to ovei-lap the head of the column and
break their formation, was the critical moment of the battle -the beginning
of the downfall of Napoleon. The British sergeant in charge of the battle-
field points out the e.xact spot. Colburne was afterward^ appointed
governor .sfeneral of Canada, where Port Colburne on Lake Huron is named
in his honor. He was entitled Ix)rd Beaton with the rank of Baron. He
was given the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath in ISIiS, was made
general in 18.'}4, and co?mnander of the military forces in Ireland in IS.'SS.
He died in ISG.'S. (Dictionary of Biography).

There were three immigrant Colburns to this country, William of Bos-
ton, Robert of Dracut, and our Nathaniel of Dedham. No relationship
between them has ever been established. They may have come from the
northeast coast of England, for on one of the Danish invasions of England,
the Danes who remained there on a branch of the Humber River, at a
place called Cattaraick, gave the name Colburn to a locality in the "Hun-
dred of Hang", and it has kept it ever since, a postoffice being there now
of that name.

The number of Colburns all over the United States must be very
large, but this record is contined to the descendants of Isaac Colburn, Jr.,
of West Dedham, after showing his descent from the immigrant Nathaniel.

The Colburns like their neighbors, from the time of the Winthrop
immigration to the prestsnt generation, were people of gi-eat practical
efficiency. The men "cleai'ed land, cut wood, made rails and posts, built
stono walls; built barns and sheds, made simple furniture and farm
utensils, involving carpentry, blacksmit.hing, and painting; cared for bees,
poultry, sheep, cattle, horses; could break colts and steers; could milk.
?hear sheep, and butcher; could plougli, plant cultivate, and harvest
vegetables; could sow, mow, reap, thresh and winnow gi'ain; could rea.d the
sky, tell bii'ds. wild animals, insects an.d common plants and trees at
sight; could plant, prune, and graft trees; make vinegar, and maple syrup
and candy; cure ham and bacon; fish, trap and hunt successfully; make
^hoes, harnesses, and simple tools; weavte baskets, make kites, bow guns,
darts, whistles, &c., for the children; i-epair anything; make a telling
speech at town meeting," serve well in war, and in town offices.

The women "understood all phases of housework, sweeping, dusting,
washing ironing; could cook, make y»oast, spap, candles, butter, cheese,
sausages, preserves of all sorts; candy, al(\ beer, wines, ai^l cordials; could
spin yarn from wool, an,(l thread from flax; dye and knit, weave and
embi-oider; shrink ;ind bleach cloth; cut and maki" oidinary garments darn
and niond anything vwdl; l)raid rugs, papei- a jcKini, cut hair; gather
medical herbs, nurs*' (he sick, rear large families; manage a flower garden.

DESCENDANTS OF ISAAC COLBURN, Jit.

aad liave potted plants bloom all winter indoors; milk, make hay, and
have all the children clean and neatly dressed at church on time, Sunday
morning."

The boys "brought in wood, collected eggs, brought in water from
spring or well, fed regularly, every day, chickens, pi.gs, cattle and horses;
drove the cows to pasture in the morning and home again at night; suckled
the calves, rubbed down the colt<, weeded gardens, cut wood, spread hay,
picked berries, husked corn, did endless chores of all sorts."

The girls helped in many of these, also "tended babies, Avashed dishes,
dusted, m;>,de beds, swept, knitti^d, .mended, washed, inade soap, butter,
preserves, and cooked."

"From helpin.g mother from love ^or her, in tasks of no moment, to
jhelping father for love of the family, in ta-ks of consequence., the boy was
promoted to tasks of such importance that the lives of helpless creatures
depended upon his fidelity to duty. A similar promotion awaited the girl
from the ,day she began to care for her doll clothes to the day she began
to prepare her own bridal outfit."

The old self-supporting home was at once a school of training for
practical life and a discipline for character. Out of it came the sturdy
New England spirit, which "was daunted by no ob-tacle, got full informa-
tion, and then went the limit" in achieving those conquests of nature, and
of European tyranny and diplomacy which have made America what it is,
"founded on home, school and church". All honor to our sturdy and worthy
ancestors.

rested for noivpayment, lay stiff on the ground, and so compelled the of-
ficer to get assistance to carry him to the wagon, and stayed in jail one
night as a protest before he paid it. One morning before daybreak, he
hoard a commotion among his cattle, ai:d found a mad dog biting them — he
seized a stake from his cart, and killed the dog before the stake broke into three
piece.s — the dog was found to have come from Bollingham. Seven or more
cows were bitten, and all sorts of suggested remedies were tried, even burj'-
ing some up to their necks, but none were saved. It is related that a
travelling c.vhibitor of a trained moose ortce showed his animal's proficiency
in jumping over a pole &c. to the (.'olburn children and when asked by the
father how much he should pay. replied, "Nrjlhing. It has been more fun
for my moose to see your children tiian for your children to see my moose."
(This story is often claimed for other large families).

When his grandchilden became too numerous to entertain in his house
(still standing) at Thanksgiving, he originated the '"Sciuantum Party" in
August. He used to pay all toils over Neponset Bridge, and provide rolls,
&c. for the dinner. His carriage led in the return home,, and then the
others followed, in order of age. This grew to be a party of 125 to 150.
Amo'-y Fisher catered a great cauldron of clan chowder, an,d the other
eatables were brought in family baskets. Swimming, boating and singing
filled the social da,y, with a spice of Sam Curry's jokes, with Fred Bacon a
close second. The party was reluctantly abandoned when the Boston sewer
was put through Sciuantum, and in 1SS2 the lasi party of that generation
was held on Uncle Isaacus' farm in West Dediiam. but the sea shore flavor
was lacking, and it was not repeated. But in 1917 the .Tones cousins held
a most enjoyable reunion in Voung's Hoti'l, Boston, George M. Diniond
presiding, and Mary A. Smith, secretary. Charles M. Co.\ presided at the
Jones Family reunion there in 1920, and it »vas voted to invite in the other
branches of the Colburn Family, and make it an annual affair. According-
ly in 1921 the Smith line and Uichards line were represented, and more
would have been if the weather had ncu been so severe. Edward J. Cox
presided, and awarded as prize to Carrie Wheeler and Herbert A. Jones
and wife as coming the longest distance, from Montezuma, Iowa, a
photograph of Dana P. Colburn in a group of the Horace Mann Teachers'
Institute T ecturers, al.so to Herbert K. Jones of Holliston Mass., for com-
ing and bringing the largest number of his descendants. Notices yf the
1922 iTunion will be sent (o all in due season.

The obituary of Isaac Colburn, Jr., in the .Norfolk Democrat of Dedham,
for May 16, 184.5, says, "Died. In West Dedham, the lOtli instant, Mr.
Isaac Colburn 79; a man much respected and esteemed for his kind and
benevolent disposition and real worth. He was the father of fifteen chil-
dren, all of whom are living -twelve of them have been married. There
are fifty one grandchildren, seven of whom are married. There
are al.«o eight great-grand-children, making seventy four regular
descendants. These with those who have intermarried, make a round
family of ninety two."

the frozen Rraiin,d by his young hoise running away at the discharge
of a gun. He was educated at the Bi-idge^water Normal School, and
after teaching with success at Bi-onkline, and elsewhere, he returned
to Bridgewater Nor-^al as teacher of mathematics. He was one of
those teachers prominent ini the campaign of Horace Mann to improve
Massachusetts schools, and served hini as lecturer on Mathematics at
the Hora.ce Mann Teacht rs' Institutes. A great punster, and very
witty, he is said to have been the lif" of the party when these
lecturers were; waiting for trains, &c. He joined in the (at first) un-
successful attempt to persuade the Massachusetts legislature to in-
troduce into Massachusetts schools the then new methods of Arnold
of Rugby, Pestalozzi, and Froebel, (object teaching instead of book
memorizing, kindergartens, &c.), hut impatient of waiting, went to
Providence, R. T., and founded a private normal school, as its first
principal. (One of his precepts was "Always be prepared. Never an
apology"). A great success from the start, it soon attracted the at-
tention of the R: I. legislators, who adopted it as a state normal
school lu its third year. At first located at Bristol. r{. I., where Uncle
Dana met his untimely early death, it if now the Rhode Tslaird State
Normal School at Provi<lcnee. At the suggestion of one of his favorite
pupil.s, Lydia Davenport (Colburn) Wellington, and an.xious that bis
memory be kept alive. I presented bis enlarged portrait to the R. I.
Normal about 1900, with an account of his success there as told me
by her. He made improvement in the use of .de^cimals in teaching
arithmetic, ami published five arithmetic text books embodying his
ideas which wer(^ adopted into the widely used arithmetics of his
friend, George A. Walton. The people of West Dedham were much
amused because the problems in Dana's arithmetics brought in the
names of local families, Fisher, Ellis. Gay, &c. He was in ccjnstant
correspondence with people all over the country, who sought his
assistance in solving difficult mathematical problems. He was a
MHMiderfully interesting lecturer, and nssociatt-d with the greatest
educational leaders of his day. An v-nthusiastic Mason, his funeral
was carried out with the ceremonies of (hat order, a special car with
about 100 prominent people of Rhode Inland coming to South Dedham
for the services. He rests with his Colburn ancestors, in the ceme-
tery in West Dedham, now Westwood. One of the letters of condolence
at his death, says, "Death for so fine a man." "The grave and sealed
lips for so warm a heart." That he is not forgotten, is shown by the
use of his name even to the present generation of Colburn descendants.
